Joseph is Ann E. Whatley's 2nd husband, 12 years her junior. Don't know when/where met/married. After the 1880 census, never find him again.

Ann's first husband was William Henry Daniel/s born NC (both parents SC). They married in Lowndes Co, AL 7 Oct 1857. By 1900 she's widowed again, living in Milam Co., TX and the census says she had 4 living children of 6 total. We know of 2 Daniel children. Either the census is wrong or we're missing 2 kids, don't know if Blanchard or Daniel. She died after 1917, probably in Livingston, Fisher Co., TX where she was living in 1910 and where her son's family was living, but no records found.
